Friendship Club is a #local-multiplayer bullet-hell #arena #shooter from Force Of Habit for Linux, Mac & Windows PC now on Steam. Catch bullets with supreme agility. Headbutt your opponents into oblivion.
Play as one of Timmy’s four best (and imaginary) friends. Chud – a beast from the mountains. Old Man Ricketts – a prospector driven mad by his lust for gold. Shakey Jake – a ninja, bandit, skeleton… thing. The Canardinal – a duck from the Vatican!
Friendship Club designer Nick Dymond says: “Friendship Club is set in the imagination of a child in 1950’s America, and draws from animation and music of that era. For example, the soundtrack contains a bunch of sampled records of old public domain material, and the animation contains slapstick humour harking back to the legendary Warner Bros cartoons.”
Sophie Humphries and Tom Boot – Friendship Club‘s artist and animator – comment on the visual characteristics as “a cross between the vibrant scenes and bizarre perspectives of Mary Blair’s Disney concept art, with a much more graphic style that emphasises simplicity. The animation reflects this too, whilst also taking lots of cues from classic old cartoons.”

It’s been in open-development the whole time, and we’ve been keeping to a strict fortnightly update/release cycle to show the community what we’re working on. Now that the game is coming to a larger audience on Steam, we’re hoping to keep the community growing and to continue incorporating their feedback.”
